Burglary alert in the Almería neighbourhood

The Almería neighbourhood is known for its residential streets. It is considered the quietest neighbourhood in the whole town, with a very low crime rate.

This past month it has changed sharply, with reports of at least 10 burglaries and lootings. Everything points to a young criminal gang that grew up in the area: they leave no trace, and they can get away even through places that are very hard to see and have no built streets.

The modus operandi is always the same: they act at weekends, they enter empty homes, and they take only money and jewellery.

The neighbours’ theory is that after a burglary they hide in the same neighbourhood, inside the municipal swimming pool on Aventura Street, and come out when they are no longer being looked for.

Residents are advised to follow the authorities’ recommendations so they do not fall prey to these criminals. Check that the windows are properly closed, lock the door, do not leave valuables or money in the bedroom, and above all do not leave the house key in the letterbox or in plant pots.
